There has been a lot of discussions on the amount of data transmitted by Oneplus devices to the mother ship. A security researcher suing the monikor Elliot Alderson decided to dig deeper to find out what data was being sent. As he dug through the OS (OxygenOS) on his phone he discovered an EngineerMode app. This app (assumed to be an internal testing tool for QA) gives access to all aspects of the phone, including rooting. A quick check for Oneplus owners it to enter *#808# SSID, which will bring up the app if present. A hcak (for now) requires physical access.
